| Content Summary: | He has had a bad time and they are going to Ireland. Sorry to leave without seeing Irving. Wrote silly note to Bournemouth but had no reply. Glad Irving is well after combat with his terrible enemy. He has lost two sons in 8 months on service abroad. He is not sorry he is the last of his unhappy race. | ||

| Content Summary: | Happiest returns of the day and may God preserve them both for many years. They must meet soon, best on a Sunday as Irving has many kinds of business which he lists. He gets tired out by the middle of the day and then must to get through his work at (night?) with effort. If he can look in to see Marshall that day he will - he is just going out and cannot get back until 3 or 4. He is now all right but the last week was very seedy. God bless Marshall, his dear friend. | ||

| Content Summary: | Grieved Irving is still on sick bed. The weather is bad in London; it must be 50% worse in Glasgow. Could someone send a postcard or telegram when Irving is beginning to mend? Sullivan has been to no theatres for some time but what a curious epidemic of 'Musketeers' has broken out in London. | ||

| Content Summary: | In response to Irving's letter of 11th he visited Mrs Irving on 13th. He reports on the state of her lungs which does not seem very serious. She was worse two months before. He would certainly not recommend her travelling to the South of Europe that late in the year, especially with the current weather on the Riviera. As a precaution she might go for the rest of the winter and the spring to Penzance or if that is considered too far - to Hastings under the Rock. | ||
